As usual, despite my best intentions, a lot of time has passed since my last post – oops! I’ve actually been quite productive over the past couple of months, working on pieces in my sketchbook to try and improve my watercolour technique.
These are my two latest paintings. I wanted to experiment with ink and watercolour, using different thicknesses of line to accentuate parts of the painting.
I have to say I am absolutely thrilled with the way these turned out. My approach was different from my usual methodical (slow) way, instead I leapt right in, sketching in pencil, inking the lines and then painting. This made the whole process quicker, looser and more enjoyable for me.
I have been inspired a lot by Alisa Vysochina, an absolutely fantastic artist who vlogs about her processes and techniques on YouTube. She also has a website where you can see her pieces in detail.
Here are a few more photos of my watercolours.
I’m really excited to do more of these, so watch this space! Thanks for popping by

The plants are stunning, but that burger is yummy. Enjoy your drawings
Much love…
Ohhhh the bacon on that burger is perfect! Love all the art this week. Well done.
This is looking great! So many details, wow …. I always ink my pieces after I paint them, because I’m afraid the ink will bleed. But you don’t seem to have any problems with that, do you?
Fabulous work Clare. You have every reason to be thrilled with your drawings :D)
